Patent number: 7597689Abstract: A disposable absorbent article with a backsheet and a first topsheet, is capable of being at least partially in contact with the wearer's skin when in use. The first topsheet being a fibrous three-dimensional web, having bonded regions where the fibers are bonded to another, and unbonded regions, where the fibers are unbonded to one another. The fibers extend from at least one unbonded region into at least two bonded regions, typically in the form of loops. The bonded regions form the support structure for the unbonded regions, and the surface area of the unbonded regions is at least 2 mm2. The topsheet has a thickness (caliper) of between 0.1 and 5 mm.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2003Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Anja Hoffmann, Joerg Mueller, Heike Opper, Georg Pescher, Mattias Schmidt

Patent number: 7592308Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and products for improved production of the lantibiotic mersacidin. There is provided a method of producing a mersacidin variant which comprises introducing into a cell which is a ?MrsA host cell an expression vector encoding said variant, and recovering said variant from the cell culture. Preferred variants include the novel variants of Table 1, e.g. mersacidin F3W, said mersacidin F3W optionally having a further one or more variations, e.g. mersacidin F3W G8A. Also provided is a Bacillus cell which is a SigH deficient strain of Bacillus sp. HIL Y-85,54728 (NCIMB Accession Number NCIMB 41211); this cell may also be used in the production of mersacidin and its variants. Further aspects of the invention include a DNA cassette which comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the mersacidin mrsA propeptide, and a method to transform a Bacillus HIL host cell with plasmid, which method includes the step of electroporation.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2006Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Novacta Biosystems LimitedInventors: Michael John Dawson, Jesus Cortes Bargallo, Antony Nicholas Appleyard, Brian Arthur Michael Rudd, Steven Boakes, Gabriele Bierbaum, Anja Hoffmann, Stephanie Schmitz
